Pollution from Chicago's Fisk and Crawford coal-fired power plants prematurely kills 42 people every year. That human cost is paid entirely by the communities who live in the shadows of these two aging plants. You won’t find it on Edison International’s bottom-line.
But Chicagoans are fighting back. And Greenpeace is supporting them. That’s why Greenpeace activists climbed up the smokestack at the Fisk power plant on Tuesday to send a simple message to Edison International: Shut down these plants and quit coal.
Edison International is an international company and is part of a broader industry that affects all of us. They need to hear the message not just from community activists, but from the American public.
Tell Edison International CEO Ted Craver to shut down the Fisk and Crawford plants by 2013. International: Shut down these plants and quit coal.
